رمضان‎

Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان‎ Ramaḍān, Arabic pronunciation:[rɑmɑdˤɑːn])

(also Ramazan, Ramzan, Ramdan, Ramadaan,Ramadhan)

is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.

It is the Islamic month of fasting,

in which participating Muslims refrain from eating,

drinking and sexual activities from dawn until sunset.

Fasting is intended

to teach Muslims about patience,

humility and spirituality and is a time

for Muslims to fast for the sake of God

(Arabic: الله‎, trans: Allah)

and to offer more prayer than usual.

During Ramadan,

Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins,

pray for guidance and help in refraining

from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves

through self-restraint and good deeds.

As compared to the solar calendar,

the dates of Ramadan vary,

moving backwards about ten days each year

depending on the moon.

Ramadan was the month in which

the first verses of the Qur’an were revealed

to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.

“Believers,

fasting is decreed for you as it was

decreed for those before you;

perchance you will be cautious.”





Word of Allah Almighty:


“And you eat and drink

until the white thread of light

from the black thread of dawn.”

(Al-Baqarah: 187).
